The snow appears to have settled in the south, most places in my area have a thin sheet of snow covering everything.

Snow and ice are sufficient to have the 246 and the 320 terminating at Biggin Hill Airport

Ignoring the usual tabloid silly headlines
Heads Up The synoptic pattern on weather models is showing unusually cold weather heading towards UK, with potentially some heavy snow in places during mid December. The jet stream that brought very wet November has allowed a deep cold pool to form in Siberian area and it appears the jet stream is moving south allowing cold area to tumble towards UK
Very similar Synoptics to 2010 and 1981
There will be at least 2 weeks (probably lot longer) weather with temperatures at least 5c below average, there is some indication that could turn even colder third week of December with winds from Arctic via Scandinavia.
Snow is hard to predict, but air passing over the relatively mild North Sea will pick up moisture then drop it as snow as it passes over land. There also appears to be predictions of various weak low pressure areas, generally to south and over the English channel, far to early to know exactly where these will be, but the interaction with these could locally bring quite hefty snowfalls.
The interesting part is under some scenarios the weather would be very cold, colder than a bit of salt sprinkled around would be able to cope with, might temporarily thaw some, but the salty water would probably freeze again at night. Therefore if you drive, make sure you have all season or winter rated tyres (they carry a 3PMSF three peak mountain with snowflake symbol), anyone with summer only tyres will probably skid, slide and fail to get up even a gentle hill (or fail to stop going down).
If anyone is too young to remember December 1981 snow (which lasted until late January), then Google it, will get plenty of pictures to show you, and yes buses did run, and not hide away.
Treat as a heads up, keep well insulated, and offer to shovel snow for any elderly neighbours etc
